Session Description

There is minimal detailed data on the prevalence of online learning in high schools. To fill this void, this research surveyed all high school principals in Michigan about online learning in their schools. The survey results provide an accurate picture of online learning in Michigan and show variation between school types. The results will help researchers and practitioners understand how Michigan high schools are utilizing online learning, areas for growth and successful practices.
